I bit the bullet and drove to Berkeley, MacBeath

*really* nice plywood $36 a sheet.
Had a lot of fun, Teal is such a 'perfect' design,
Bolger's boat designs like this are a form of art.

...which shows the progress, so far. About 10 hours
into it, not counting the false start with
the shopping.
I think I will head to the 'woods' near
here and nab a 16' baby tree stick for
the mast tomorrow.
I got the first half inch of chine log on,
and the plans call for another half inch
strip, but I am tempted to leave it off,
and use a thinner chine log.
but I got the 1/2" MDO for $22 a sheet
[wholesale], and I will keep it for use later,
perhaps to build some cabinets, or funiture.

struggle. 1/2" would be really tough, if not impossible.
